Firehouse Chimney & Duct Clean aka Seymour Chimney

Chimney Sweep, Fireplaces, Dryer Vent Cleaning,

About us

Firehouse Chimney aka Seymour Chimney Cleaning was started in 1983 by my father and brother, Al and Mark Leitch, Dad saw a need for a local sweep due to the high number of chimney fires in the community. Al is a 30 year veteran with the local fire department. Now I (Kent, Al's youngest son) have managed and operated the company since 2000. I work full time at the City of Knoxville Fire Dept and attend church at Calvary Chapel Church. Our first priority is safety, 2nd is affordability. We treat people like we would want our grandparents treated, with kindness and respect. The customer is right. We always appreciate any feedback, whether good or bad, it helps us improve and grow. We are a debt free company that is family owned and operated with help from selected firefighters and paramedics. We offer free inspections in the Seymour / south Knox area. Typical prices for chimney sweeping range from $110-$120. Dryer vent cleaning ranges from $75-$100 (half off if chimney cleaning is already booked). Check out our website @ seymourchimney.com

On time, professional, neat and clean for such a messy job. Seemed very knowledgeable spent time to talk about fireplace care and upkeep and answered questions I had about wood burning fireplace inserts. We will definitely hire them again in the future!

They arrived on time and finished within an hour. We have used this company previously to clean our chimney and we got excellent results. They are active firefighters and can attest to the need for clean vents and chimneys, having seen the disastrouls results of chimney and dryer fires. I recommend this company highly.

The guys did an excellent, clean job under messy weather conditions. They contacted me quickly after purchasing the service to schedule the work and arrived as scheduled. Given their expertise, I expanded the work to include inspection and cleaning of my fireplace. It was great to feel everything was safe after their visit. I happily recommend them and will use the company again.

Excellent - had asked for clean out of the dryer vent duct, but at the same price they replaced it with a metal lined expansion vent line. Pleasant and efficient workers. Will call them for chimney and fireplace cleanout later on.

This was some time ago, so I don't remember the gentleman's name or even the cost of the service. What I do remember is that I felt the cost was very reasonable and fair. I also felt he was knowledgeable, and honest. I did not at all feel pressured into unnecessary services. I WILL be using them again in the future.

I bought an Angie's List deal to get my dryer vent cleaned for $45. Scheduling was a breeze. They fit us in quickly. Arrived on time. Were extremely friendly and helpful. They cleaned the dryer vent, put everything back in order and made no mess. My new dryer is no longer complaining with the "check vent" light. While at our house they made sure we knew to check our smoke detector batteries. They also wanted to make sure we had emergency fire escape ladders for our children's bedrooms upstairs and gave us some great ideas on how to teach our young children to use them. This is a genuinely helpful organization. Everyone should use them. Thanks for everything!

In addition to inspecting and cleaning my gas fireplace, Kent took time to educate me about how the fireplace works and precisely now to turn on the pilot light properly. He also educated me about the importance of having a carbon monoxide detector, which I recently installed. I was extremely please with Kent's politeness, thoroughness, and professionalism, and I hope to have Firehouse Chimney inspect my fireplace next year.

Technician inspected the firebox, damper, and flue. He also inspected the chimney, spark arrestor, cap, and the top of the chimney (checking for spalling). The technician noted that the flue did not yet require cleaning but likely would next yearly inspection. We've used this company since we moved into this older home in 2013, including their services for an evaluation prior to purchasing. Very professional, honest, and thorough. They could have said that the flue needed cleaning which would have cost an additional $25.00. We'll continue to use them in the future.

Everyone was well-mannered and professional. Everything was explained to me before the work began. They were very tolerant of my toddler and barking dogs. They shared their findings and cleaned up well before leaving. I would absolutely call them again!

We were very pleased with the service we got. We had scheduled a cleaning with them. When they got there they actually told us that we did not cleaning which i was very pleased with our there honesty instead of trying to take us for our money. They did inform us we would probably need some repairs on the fireplace and gave us quote on the spot. Very impressed with their professionalism and honesty. Will defenistly use them in the future.

it went well . The technician was very courteous and professional. He was sdheduled for earlier in the afternoon but got behind on some other calls and contacted me twice to let me know and make sure that it was not disruptive to my plans for him to come even though running late. I plan on using them again.

Kent and Tyler came to my home to service my gas logs. They were running a little behind on the job before me and were kind enough to phone ahead well BEFORE they were late and advise me of the revised schedule. They were very courteous and did an excellent job cleaning and servicing my fireplace. Kent taught me how to use the system properly and safely and taught me how to light the pilot light. He also gave me some helpful information about carbon monoxide detectors and gas fuel in general. He seemed very motivated to see that I knew how to operate my system safely. Nobody that has previously serviced my home has taken the time to do that. I also found his office manager to be very pleasant and helpful. I only had to wait for a couple of weeks for the service, and I was very restricted with the times that I could be home. I was very pleased with their willingness to work with me. I found the price to be very fair given the meticulous nature with which they performed the service and the teaching. Thanks!
